Destroy the remaining samples of smallpox in the CDC.

Created by E.K. on October 08, 2012

The CDC (Center for Disease Control) still holds samples of smallpox (as far as I know). Since it is the responsibility of the government to protect the people, regulate weapons of mass destruction, and stop potential threats, I believe that the CDC should destroy the remaining samples and officially make smallpox an extinct virus. The possibility of another outbreak would be certainly disastrous. Don't hold it off for another time. Please do not procrastinate! Do it NOW! Thank you for considering this and another thanks to those who signed it.
